"When Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak formed Apple Computer, they were sued by Apple Records, because of the similarity in their names. Apple Computer was clearly doing something in a field outside of music, but people love to sue each other. As part of an agreement, they were obviously allowed to keep the name Apple, provided that they never competed with Apple Records by making music of any kind."
